The fun starts just 90 minutes
from Chicago

Chicago is a fantastic city. Surrounding Chicagoland certainly is packed with good times, too. But when you’re ready for a change of pace … the fun starts less than two hours from your doorstep in Southwestern Michigan.

Just around the curve of Lake Michigan you will find miles of soft, sandy beaches. Splash in the waves, race the kids down towering dunes or kayak along the shore. Our sunsets are as breathtakingly beautiful in January as they are in July.

Inland, rivers and lakes offer places for personal retreats and family gatherings. Along our trail of wineries you can take tours, enjoy festivals and taste their award-winning vintages year round.  From asparagus time in May until the last pumpkins and apples are picked in late fall, you will find the freshness you crave at our roadside stands and u-pick farms.  And spring through fall, golf courses offer the challenge level and tee times you want – be sure to check our special packages with area hotels.

You’ll discover fun little shops, antique collectors, art galleries and restaurants in our towns. And week after week you can celebrate life at our festivals, fairs, museum exhibits, theater shows and concerts. As you can see, just driving in for a day doesn’t always allow enough time to enjoy all there’s to do – so we invite you to stay a weekend or week at one of our friendly lodgings or campgrounds.

Keeping up with all this fun is much easier with our free newsletter or Facebook updates. Or contact us to get one-on-one help planning great times for you, your family and friends.
